It&#8217;s a mixed bag: some pretty good ones that sound as if recorded at the mixing desk, while others are just muffled noise with the occasionally recognisable vocal. I can understand why the recordings were hard to do. H\u00fcsker D\u00fc were pretty noisy in performance (reviewers frequently referred to their sound as a &#8220;sonic wall&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Most interesting is a recording of the band&#8217;s final performance at The Blue Note on 11th December 1987. It&#8217;s noisy and uneven &#8211; but wonderfully wild. From my understanding, it was immediately following this gig that Bob Mould cancelled their remaining shows and the band was no more.
